About this site
Pillar Castle is a reef dive named for its large stands of pillar coral. One stand grows on a finger of reef just north of the main reef area, and another stands directly across from the mooring.
The south end of the formation is hollow and forms a cavern. In late summer the cavern is usually filled with silversides, and sometimes with glass eyed sweepers or hatchet fish. A large green moray eel occasionally makes its lair there.
